Anton Injury Not So Bad.
Anton's scan has revealed a minor strain and it is thought he will return to full training within 2 weeks. This will come as a relief to Alan Pardew as he is short of defenders at the minute with Danny Gabbidon also fighting for fitness and is yet to start a preseason game. Hopefully we can start the season with a full squad to chose from so we can get off to a flyer vs Charlton at Upton Park come August 19th.

I don't know why, but I had a feeling Anton would be OK.
Roll on Aug 19th - I'm getting antsy :-)

Reports in the Portuguese press insist that West Ham are readying a €5 million (£3 million) bid for Portugal international goalkeeper Ricardo.
The shot-stopper plays his club football for Sporting Lisbon and is well-known to English audiences having helped dump the Three Lions out of both Euro 2004 and this summer's World Cup finals in penalty shoot-outs.
Indeed, the 30-year-old was voted as one of the outstanding keepers for his displays in Germany where he conceded only two goals in five games - one of those a penalty from Zinedine Zidane.
West Ham are in the market for a new goalkeeper having allowed Shaka Hislop to join American MLS outfit Dallas.
Boss Alan Pardew - eager to build on a successful first campaign back in the top-flight - is looking to provide competition for Roy Carroll and now looks set to launch an ambitious raid for Ricardo.
However, he would appear to have his work cut out to manufacture a deal as the player himself has spoken of his happiness at Sporting.
"I feel very good at Sporting who, for me, are one of the best clubs in the world," he told Portuguese sports newspaper A Bola.
"I feel proud to be considered one of the best goalkeepers at the World Cup but I repeat, I am at one of the best clubs in the world.
"I am very calm and very satisfied to be representing Sporting."
